    Sure as heck wasn't kidding. I've been chasing my two damsels around the tank for a hour, didn't even come close to catching one. I cycled with damsels so I want to take them back to the store.

    Any inspector gadgets out there that can help me out?

    Hrmmm.... I'm envisioning a tube with ends that can close. Maybe string operated. With alarms. Definitely alarms.

    I almost always almost catch my chromis while im trying to feed them. When I strain the mysis shrimp in the net and then try to get the mysis out of the net I tend to grab a few fish wether it be the chromis or the clowns.
